‘wp-scripts’ error when using site shell FOLLOWUP

What issue or error are you experiencing?

new clean WP install and then use Shell to create a custom block in PLUGINS using command “npx @wordpress/create-block” command will fail out of the box

Posting the solution because it is difficult to find/track down - plus previous topic posted above was never resolved (or allowed to add solution after closed)

SOLUTION:
export NODE_ENV=development

the solution was to run export NODE_ENV=development first. If the NODE_ENV isn’t development, the npm install command doesn’t install the development dependency @wordpress/scripts. cc [@talldan]
